breast implants and nursing

I'm 28 and 6 weeks pregnant with my first! I had a breast augmentation when I was 24, the implants are under the muscle with incision scars under the breast rather than the areola. I'm concerned about my ability to nurse and/or produce enough milk. Do Any of the more experienced moms have any insight?

You'll really have to wait and see if your milk is affected. Some women with implants have nursed no problem, while others have not. A friend of mine had implants in a few years ago and last year she had a baby. Her milk never came in.

I have implants as well, under the muscle, but my incision is under the areola. my doctor assured me i could breast feed (but we'll see - his other patients can but i think it just depends). anyway, my good friend also has impants, over the muscle, incision under the breast, and she was able to breast feed and produce enough milk for her child. i'm pretty sure you will be able to breast feed with no problems. what could jeopardize it would be the incision location and your location would be the best one.

I got my implants done when I was 17 ( had literally no breast tissue) and from my understanding as long as you have feeling in your nipples you should be able to breast feed. Should be interesting to see if the doctor lied or not.
